PlayStation boss: ‘Our first-party lineup is a little sparse this year’

The big Electronic Entertainment Expo video game tradeshow is just weeks away, and you may have your hopes up for big PlayStation 4 announcements from Sony. But the chief executive officer of the company’s PlayStation division is trying to manage those expectations.

Sony held an event for its investors today, and it included a presentation where Sony Computer Entertainment president and CEO Andrew House talked about the achievements of the PlayStation 4 as well as the future of that console. During his talk, House said that his company will continue to rely on outside publishers to support the PS4 as Sony’s internal development is still not up to speed. The PlayStation 4 is the market leader in the $55 billion console gaming space, but it may struggle to keep that position without software support. At least for this fiscal year, which for Sony runs through March 2016, those games won’t come from within the company.
